Mount Meru 3 Trek

Were it to be the only large free-standing volcano in these parts, Mount Meru would no doubt attract much more attention, but with the considerably larger Mount Kilimanjaro within view to the east, the smaller of these two great sisters is so often overlooked.

The three night trek to the summit of Mount Meru is a really interesting one, passing through all but the highest 'polar' climate zone and with a dramatic summit approach along an exposed ridge.

The main potential downsides are that the accommodation is in park authority huts and that the ridge can become very exposed and extremely dangerous in adverse weather.
